The Jump

This is a little story of how JJ and Jackie became like their parents

"Come on Jackie, we're going on a little trip." Harley said as she gently as she shook her daughter awake.

"JJ come on, we're going somewhere fun." Joker said as he woke up his son.

Both of the tired children held out their arms to their parents insisting they pick them up, and they did. They carried them over to their wardrobe and picked out some clothes that didn't fit the kids anymore.

JJ asked Harley, "Mommy why are we getting dressed in these clothes, they don't feel good." As Joker was putting JJ's shirt on he struggled against it because the clothes were too tight. Jackie squirms while Harley tried to get her shirt on. Harley was getting impatient so she gave each child a little smack on their arms, they both knew they needed to listen to their mom. Harley finally got the shirt on her stubborn daughter. Both of the children told her they were sorry which lead to more smacks. Harley replied " shut the fuck up and get in the car", J was close behind her.

They got in the car and drove to the ace chemical factory. They arrive and hop out of the car. They climb up to the catwalk and Harley stares over the edge and all of a sudden she hears JJ ask "Mommy what are we doing?" Joker replies, "Your going to jump off of this ledge." Both of the children grasp onto each other tightly. Harley smiled sweetly and walked over to them an asked them " don't you think Mommy and Daddy are pretty?" They both replied with a yes. "Well if you guys jump you'll look just like mommy and daddy, with pretty pearly white skin." Joker told them.

They both walked over to the edge and stare down. They can both swim and hold their breath for an extended amount of time, they were both still scared. Finally Harley spoke up, "If you don't come up we'll go in after you." They both relaxed.

They got over to the edge and finally made their desision, they jumped, they both just knew they were going to die, the hit the chemicals with their eyes open, I stung them so much they couldn't bear it. After a few more moments they swam up to the surface. Once they reached the top the swam over to the side, screaming and crying.

H+J POV

They watched as they jumped off the edge, Harley was surprised they actually did it. J was even more surprised, he nor Harley could withstand the pain. They both knew as soon as they were out of the vat, they were going to hold them tightly and not let them go, the knew they were going to cry and they was going to hold them till they felt better.

Harley soon realized what had happend and she ran over to the edge to see them surface. Harley and Joker stared at each other for a minute and then heard the screaming and crying and ran off of the catwalk down the stairs as fast as they could, J quickly drained the tank and ran the wash for the next vat. Harley grabbed them and took them out of the vat.

Jackie quickly ran over to her father and he held her tight. He picked her up not caring that she was covered in chemicals, they were both screaming and crying. "It burns! my eyes! I can't feel my skin! Why does it itch! I can't breath!" Harley tried to calm them down as she quickly said to them, "Once we get home and get you in the tubby you'll feel a lot better."

They quickly ran them into the car and drove home. Joker ran up to their bedroom and turned the bath of freezing cold. They had to. Harley came into the bathroom with the twins and stripped them down so they could get in. They got in a shivered under the cold, but it helped with the burns, they ducked under the water and came up sparkling clean, Joker and Harley were dumbfounded, Jackie had this beautiful emerald green and white hair, while JJ had a mix of red and white hair, he looked like a candy cane.

The two looked really hungry and tired. They got out of the bath and put on some warm pajamas. J walked downstairs holding Jackie. Her beautiful green and white mixed hair rested on her perfect pearly white skin. Harley was holding JJ, his peppermint like hair was an almost perfect match with his skin.

They sat down in the kitchen and Harley quickly made some macaroni and cheese, that always cheered the twins up. She handed it to them and saw their faces become a lit bit happier. They quickly ate then stopped they just sat there in silence then all of a sudden they screamed whoa, they look at each other "I can hear you, I can hear you too!" "ah there it is," ,Joker said "when one takes a chemical bath your sense are heightened, I can hear a lot better than you think, and your mom can tell when there are things close or far, so I'm pretty sure her hands were affected, your brains must have effected."

Soon the twins calmed down again and were holding onto their parent as they walked up the stairs to tuck them into bed. Harley and Joker tucked them into bed then headed off into their bedroom. They fell asleep quickly but kept waking up, they had so many plans for tomorrow connecting in their heads. They were very excited that there kids had made the decision. They were in line for the Joker and Harley empire, they would need to learn how to start acting like it
